What is Payroll?
Payroll is a list of employees who get paid by the company. Payroll also refers to
the total amount of money employer pays to the employees. As a business
function, it involves:
2. Defining payslip components like basic, variable pay, HRA, and LTA
3. Gathering other payroll inputs (e.g., relocation, employee referral, any bonus payout,
transfers, statutory Holiday working)
4. The actual calculation of gross salary, statutory as well as non-statutory deductions, and
arriving at the net pay
6. Depositing dues like TDS, PF, etc. with appropriate authorities and filing returns

employees also called as ‘net pay’ after adjusting necessary taxes and other
deductions.
